Free Trade Nonsense.

1t is exceedingly tiresome to be contlnu-
ally reading the same, absolutely the same,
nonsense, repeated day after day, week
after week, month after month, and year
after year. by the free trade papers. They
have but one single argument (?), and upon
that they ring the changes. The argu-
ment ~ that an import duty increases
the price paid by the consumer for the
article on which the duty Is placed
Two years ago there was duty on coffee
and one on sugar The duty on coffee was
removed and that on sugar retained Free
coffee Is to-day selling at more than It did
when there was q duty on it, and taxed
sugar is selling at but little over one-half
the price Of ten years ago.
Proof has been made "strong as Holy
Writi-evidenc adduced sufficient, It
would seem, that even "a free trade) fool
could uGderstandn-bu yet the old cry is
made that "a duty on imported goods is a
tax on the consumer
The last specimen Of this kind of nrgu-
mCnt seen is In the Macon (Ga) NcUS,
which devotes nearly column OF It's space
to showing that the duty on pig iron is a
bonus paid to the manufacturer. After en-
during the aflllctIon Of reading this stun,

GreaU Cities.

Ancient history tells OF many "great
cities" but We have no definite knowledge
of the number OF their inhabitants, and can
only arrive at the probable population OF
any OF them by the area when ascertaiuao.e,
with the known habits of the people. TAX
ing these as guides, noue of the great cities
OF the past approach those OF the present
in population.
THE last reliable census returns, those OF
1850 and 1881, show only four cities IN
Europe and one in America with over
100000 inhabitants; they are Loudon,
4,76G,G61; Paris, 2,259,O23 Berlin, 1,l22,.
$50; Vienna, 1,lO3,S57, and New York,
1,2Oe,59O. Besides these there are four
cities in Asia, Canton, Toxic, Peliln, aud
Nankin, that are estimated each to contain
over 100000 inhabitants, but the accuracy
of these estimates is doubtful.
The area Of London which contain;
the above named population, is about
twenty-six miles square. A similar area
included in the city OF New York would
have given it in 1850 population larger
than that of Paris. The census OF 1S9,
will probably show that Brooklyn and
| Philadelphia each contain more than
million people, with Chicago close up tc
that point. AT anything like the presen
rate Of progress, by the end OF the century
half dozen other cities will have passed
! the line of one million, while st. Peters
, burg is the only probability In Europe.

THE Norfolk Tirginian has established the
claim, through one Il. b. Heintzelmln, who
furnishes the figures, that majority of the
volunteers in the late war were Democrats
This may astonish some of the Union SOL
dlers, but there is little doubt but that the
statistics Of the EHginian are correct. The
method by which this startling statement is
proven is to count the confederate soldiers
as Democrats, and add to that number the
te'o Democrats In the Union army. AS a
compiler OF truthful history the Yrginian's
figure caster is unique and unparalleled.

New Pocket Books.

We have just received an
elegant line of Ladies' Long
Pocket Books-some with
metallic corners and some
without, and some of very
fine, genuine feathers, and
TO be perfectly frank some
that are only clever AMI
serviceable limitations. But
they are all first class goods.
We do not say they were
made especially for our
trade" because the same
goods can be purchased
elsewhere +; but we do say
that they are the best we
have seen for the money :;
and, furthermore, that no
where else are they offered
at lower prices.
rs cents is the price for
the fancy leather ones, and
40 and "a cents are what
we SIX for the genuine
Japanese, or Seal Books.
At these prices you have a
